Ok, so from what I understand. The issue is that Green decided to suddenly eject from his mech and escape from injury in mid-battle. Beta feels that it is cheap move etc… I’ll address what I saw from the fight and characters. 

First, I’ll state there is a lot of ambiguity with the nature of Beta’s powers. I had to go through the character’s history to get a sense of what essences and the stuff the character was using. The character sheet gave a lot of details on what the abilities did, but not how it did them. So I’m not going to fault Green if he got confused on what was going on. Anything Beta doesn’t describe in his previous posts doesn’t exist for his character.

That said Green is also at fault for not describing, unless I missed it somewhere, two things about his mecha. That is his mech has a forcefield and sensors so numerous he did not bother describing all of them in his sheet. So the action that should have happened when Ysolda tried to grapple the hellhound was that an invisible barrier should have knocked her back or created an impact strong enough to alert Edmund that something was trying to bust through and latch onto the Hellhound.

The second inconsistency is that there the numerous sensors on the Hellhound. It not well described how the sensors work on the Hellhound, but it’s safe to assume that the “numerous” redundant systems were intended to cover any blind spots in the other “sensors”. That is if you are invisible. The hellhound should still have thermal vision to pinpoint your location. The 360 degree range should mean means there should be no blind spots on the mech where someone can approach without a little red beep alerting Edmund that something is coming towards him. 

So there should be no logical reason unless Edmund had stated his mech was malfunctioning or if it was purposely sabotaged by an enemy ability for him not to realize that Ysolda was still alive and trying to latch on to the Hellhound. I saw no attempt by anyone to sabotage the Hellhound’s sensor so I’m going to assume it’s in pristine shape. So, those are two reasons why whatever happened shouldn’t have happened. 

Assuming those are fixed, Edmund can still say “oh shit”, abandon the mech, and nuke the place. Those actions are fine. His reasoning, HQ calling him telling to leave, is also fine. It happens in the real world when you are sent off to repair something and get a call back later that the order got canceled. His character “agreeing” to leave despite being a homicidal freak is also fine. His personality states he has a fear of abandonment. I’m sure if it was described more fully in the thread. People would agree Edmund would bail a place if he thought he might be left behind.

[b]Conclusion:[/b]
How people described their interactions in this thread with the Hellhound are all wrong based on the Hellhound’s description. Edmund can abandon his mech as it fits his personality for the situation. 

There is one point of contention. Whether or not the Hellhound should even be able to receive a transmission from the HQ in a full on battle zone. One could argue the transmission(radio waves/energy particles / etc…) could have been scrambled by aura coming out of Ysolda. But seeing as the fact was never brought up. This is the decision I have reached. 

Let me know if I have any of the facts wrong.
